RGBW LED Strip (4 in 1 integrated LED chip) has a power consumption of 14.4W per meter

That’s the power consumption of all 4 colours together, meaning an average of 3.6W per colour per meter.

Note: Those are the average readings based on 5 meters length of strip, if the length is less as an example 1 meter the power will be higher due to the reason that there is no voltage drop. (Check the RGBW Led strip page for more details).

Installation hints and tips for LED strips can be downloaded at the bottom of this Hi-Line web page.

______________________________

The specific LED controller can handle a maximum of 5A per channel but is suggested to load the controller with no more than 3.5A in order to operate at lower temperatures.

Note: If adequate ventilation is provided you may load this controller with up to 5A which is the maximum current per channel that can pass through the triacs without being damaged.

Since RGBW LED strip is rated at 24 Volts, we can assume a current of 0.15A per channel (based on a average 5 meters length of rgbw led strip).

If we load the controller with the “safe” value of 3.5A per channel rated at 24V, means we can connect up to 84 Watt per channel or maximum of 23 meters of RGBW tape to every controller. Every maximum of 5 meters RGBW LED strip is suggest to be connected with the DMX LED controller directly using a separate 5 core cable. Never connect from one 5 meters roll to another.
